<TITLE>26. Par 82-83</TITLE>L-82 Now, if we've all crippled up with sin and got out in the Hollywood fashions, why not just come up to El Shaddai? How many'd like to see a real Holy Ghost filled church here, just power of God? Sure. Well, what do we do? We... El Shaddai, the breasted One. If you want salvation, lean on His breast and nourish your spiritual strength out of His Word. Here's His Breast, both New and Old Testament. Set down, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." The same milk. It comes from one mother's breast, is from the other one, just exactly. But it's just two different phases of it. "He was wounded..." If you're sick, why not just hold on to His breast of promise. "I was wounded for your transgression; with My stripes you were healed." What do you have need of tonight? Just lean upon His breast.
And another thing, did you notice, He... The El means "the strong one." Shaddai, the--the sufficient One, the life giver. The almighty, strong One. "Abraham, you're a hundred years old, old and weak. But I am your Strength." That...

L-83 The little baby when it's nursing, not only... But it's a satisfier. See? The baby on its mother's breast is satisfied. It can be screaming, his little belly hurting, and kicking, and it's little strength is all gone, but he will lay right up on his little mother's breast like that and quit crying. Nurse, go ahead, it'll be all right. Why? Because it's satisfies.
And when I can show you in this Bible that He forgives all of our iniquity (O God), heals all of our diseases, let me just take hold of that promise and say, "Father God, I'm weak; I need You. I know You keep Your Word. You're El Shaddai. I'm believing You, Lord. Fill me with Your Spirit. Wash me in Your Blood. Take me back, O Lord, and try me. Let me lean against the bosom. I am Your child; I was born to You but I got weak, but You're my strength Giver. You promised You would do it, and I'm just going to hold right here, Lord, and I'm going to be satisfied that You'll fill me with Your Spirit, wash me in Your Blood, take away all of my condemnation, heal my body and make me well." What a promise it is to confirm His promise to Abraham, "I'm El Shaddai."
"Well Brother Branham, I'm a--I'm a prostitute. I'm a--I'm a drunkard. I'm a--I'm an alcoholic. I'm all these oth..." I don't care what you are. Come right up to El Shaddai. If your strength and all hopes is gone, the Alcohol Anonymous has given you up, the doctor's given you up, there's nothing can be done for you, He's El Shaddai, the strong One. Lean upon His bosom and just nurse and be satisfied. He will bring it to pass. Won't you love Him?
I love Him, (Why wouldn't I?) I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Let's bow our head now while we sing quietly.
I love Him, (Real quiet and reverent) I love Him (Now, let the Holy Spirit speak to you.)
Because (That's it.) He... (Do you know He invited you? If you're fretting, and don't know just where you stand, you say, "I belong to church.")
And... (Don't know what denomination you belong to, won't you just come to El Shaddai now? "I've sought the Holy Ghost a long time, Brother Branham. But tonight I'm coming.")
On...
